You have almost 1 TB of RAM? :O
And I thought Windows 7 x64 was limited to 192 GB.

Windows 7 will normally show approximately 45 - 55% of memory in use during normal running. This is nothing to be worried about but is a sign that windows is actually working as designed.

The system is set-up to load memory with those items which are likely to be used next based on your actual usage. If anything requires the memory needed this will be freed by the system without any intervention required.

The thing is that unused memory is wasted memory so the systems tries to more efficiently use the memory available
